Shyamalan's 'Split' Sequel Surprise

Because M. Night Shyamalan funded the movie ‘Split’ himself, Universal executives were unaware that it was a sequel to his film ‘Unbreakable’ until they first screened it. The executives were "completely flummoxed" since Unbreakable is a Disney movie. However, Shyamalan assured them it was fine because he had already obtained permission.
